Designed As You Human Design Podcast
Nothing is Random: Divine Timing and The Courage in Taking Step By Step
12 Jan 2026
Chapter 1: What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
Welcome to the Designed As You podcast. I'm Hilary McVeigh, a human design teacher and intuitive, and this is about remembering who you are and becoming who you're here to be. Let's dive in. Hello, my loves. Welcome back to the podcast. Today I am sharing a conversation I had with an incredible woman from inside the Advanced Human Design Certification.
She interviewed me and asked some really incredible questions. She has just started her podcast. So celebrating you, Tina, it's such a big deal to start a podcast. If you are thinking about starting one... Please, like I urge you to because it is such a gift. It is such an incredible way to connect.
Chapter 2: What does Hilary mean by 'nothing is random'?
It's an incredible way to share, feel fully expressed. It's such a creative outlet, but it's also really great for your business. The podcast changed my life and it has brought so many of you to our spaces. So I'm incredibly grateful. So today is a transmission that came through with Tina and I, and I wanted to share it because we spoke about things that I have never shared on the podcast before.
And also just from the eyes and from the perspective, when you're starting out in your business, I think this will really help just to really normalize what some experiences can be and also normalize yourself.
the duality of the experience, how there can be so much excitement, but fear, so much momentum, but also feeling overwhelmed, how there can be feeling really sure about yourself and over the moon and then all this doubt. Like it's a big experience.
You're going to meet all the edges and the parts of you, all the crevices of you, and you'll be really met with any shadows or any fears or anything that you're here to liberate yourself from. So I just want to remind you that if something comes up when you are starting something or you're
Starting in a relationship or starting in a business, it's like these mirrors really bring up anything that we are here to shed or to liberate ourselves from and it's for our good. If you just stay in your comfort zone and stay in the safe and known, look, at one point the feathers will still be ruffled, but...
When you are going into business or in relationship, it will bring everything to the surface so that you can transform it, so that you can evolve through it, so that you can become free from it.
And that is what truly motivates me to like liberate from any limiting beliefs or anything that is suppressing my life force, your life force, because your life force wants to move, wants to flow, wants to create a fulfilled, abundant, nourishing life. So enjoy this one and I'll speak to you on the other side. I wanted to introduce you to our first ever sponsor to the podcast, Bodygraph.com.
So this is a business that I have been working with for years and actually have on my own website. Most of you have probably already generated your human design chart through their software. And this is a question I actually get a lot, especially from new buddying human design readers or astrologers who are wanting to incorporate a chart in their website.
And so bodygraph.com is what I've integrated in my website so that you guys and my clients can generate your own human design chart. Maybe you've done it for yourself, for your family, for your friends, or the random you've just made up in your morning coffee. You know, we love to, we love to generate charts left, right and center.

Welcome, Hilary, to the podcast. I'm happy to have you here.
It's such a pleasure. I'm so excited. I just love connecting with you, so I'm very excited to talk about all the things with you.
All the things.
Yes.
So the first topic I want to talk about, it's going to start with a story. Yes. There's a theme to this story, so... The story is all about synchronicities and these serendipitous moments that happen in our lives. And I'm a true believer that nothing is random. And I've heard you spoken about this a lot as well.
And the background for my laptop that I've had on my desktop for probably seven or so years, it says everything is always happening for our highest good. And so for me, the story over, I would say, the last 12 to 18 months for me, is I was in a deep dive studying. I was doing all the things. I was studying Kabbalah and Iron Fist and I was in TBM, 2B Magnetic, Somatics.
I was doing a deep dive into my coaching certification and I was working full-time as well at the same time, signing up at 4am for coaching calls and all the things. And so I had all this going on and You know, I wanted to learn all of these things. And human design was obviously one of those things.
And I signed up to do the breathwork certification with the lovely Jackie and Timmy at the Flies in Australia. And that's where we met. And I was instantly drawn to you. I think I just instantly had a girl crush on you, to be honest. And what drew me to you was you were just so magnetic and you were so comfortable in your own skin and you really knew who you were.

Chapter 4: What is the 'bridge of events' in personal growth?
And it was so beautiful. But at that time, I had parked human design as one of those things that, yep, that's the rabbit hole I want to go down later. And fast forward a few months and I'll be honest, I stalked you on your website and I kept looking at your offerings and your programs. Yes, this is the space I want to be in one day.
And then five or six months later, here we are on the same yoga teacher training. And there's Hilary again. And I'm like, oh, this is amazing. And you're opening up your doors for your next certification training. And I came up to you and I said, oh, I'm so interested in human design. You're like, well, you know, the timing's right and it feels right. You'll know it at the time.
And so I went home that night and registered. Good certification. And here we are again, another six months later, and I've just come out of that amazing experience. So what I would love for you to talk into is this whole concept that nothing is random. Everything is happening for our high school. So would love to hear your perspective about that.
Thank you for sharing. And I very much gravitated towards you as well. So it was just so nice when we continue to bump into each other. Absolutely. So I love the quote that it's Einstein. He said it of coincidences are God's way of remaining anonymous. And it's always interesting. I remember even growing up, my grandma, who I'm very close with,
I wouldn't say she's a spiritual person, but definitely deeply intuitive and very curious, worldly and wise woman. And she would always just speak growing up about these coincidences that would happen in her life and her whole energy would light up. I now know she's a generator.
And you know, these things that you kind of, it hits you when someone tells you something or speaks about something, you don't know why it feels very important when they speak about it. And since going on my own journey, these things that we think are random are absolutely not. And they are these moments in time, these breadcrumbs.
And I believe that we almost signed up for these connections with people or these life-altering moments where, you know, the famous term of sliding doors happens. where when you're present and open to how life is guiding and directing you and we can think that we need to control our life or plan out our life or make things make sense. And what I noticed is that when you are...
present in your life and when you are open and connected with your intuition and connected with this little inklings or these feelings of some form of a purpose or a mission within you, you start to realize that life is supporting you along that way.
I love the term of bridge of events, where when we set an intention or a desire or a manifestation, which I believe we have them on our heart for a reason and there's something for us, how life will work in ways to create that for us or to guide us towards that. And it's not in ways that we can, again, like logically control or map out.

Chapter 5: How can misalignment lead to burnout?
It's perfectly created for the experience that you can either say yes to or not to.
I love that. I've noticed it happens so many times in my life. And even just that very brief example I gave, you know, I came out of a very intense six month coaching training. And then I was like, am I really ready to walk into another six months of training? And I said, yes. And it was perfect. It was absolutely perfect.
And so I guess I want to say some people might say, well, that's all well and good for you, Tina. You know, you're doing all these things, but that feels very burnout material for me. You know, I was getting up at 4am for these courses. I was working full time. You know, my drive was a half an hour commute. So I was doing things and now I found out I was a generator. So let's just normalize this.
I'm a generator. So I was doing things that lit me up.
Yeah. Yeah.
So can we speak about how the different energy types come to play in situations like that?
It's so important to understand how your intuition is speaking to you and to even have the awareness around your decision maker within you. So similar to what we were just saying with this idea of trying to control your life or trying to even, quote unquote, figure your life out. And... A lot of the time, people think that they're creating a new future, but we're just repeating the past.
And I've noticed it a lot, especially in myself of, yeah, this fear of burnout or the fear of making a wrong decision. And so you end up not making any decision or you just make decisions that are in your comfort zone or...
I have just noticed that when something is really going to create a lot of change in your life, a lot of transformation, a lot of mindset shift, you will see yourself totally different and experience the world in such a different way. Yeah, our mind will mentally resist that because it doesn't want change. It doesn't like to have any form of risk.

Chapter 6: What role does conditioning play in our lives?
And I truly believe that this stops so many people from realizing their full potential, from realizing what is possible in this lifetime. And myself as a projector who had a lot of experience with burnout that, you know, times ended up in the hospital, had severe panic attacks, was struggling to get out of bed.
But what was happening was that I was trying to use my energy in ways that weren't aligned for me. So it was just like taking from an empty cup, just draining. I felt like my soul was being sucked out of me. And it wasn't until I connected with...
what i truly believe and i believe everyone has this something that they're aligned to do and to create in the world and as we were speaking about it's not random that you have certain desires or you have certain things that get you going or make you feel lit up and that's what we're here to put our energy into and regardless of whatever energy type you are you will gain more from that
And it's just having that awareness of in your body when you do need rest and when you do need time to connect with yourself. But it's not all or nothing. And there's no such thing as a wrong decision. The only wrong decision that I think is when you don't make any decision at all and you just stay in the same space that you're wanting to change.
Like if you don't want to change and if you don't want any different reality or experience, then okay, amazing, just keep doing what you're doing. But if you desire more or if you want a different experience or you have this feeling that you You have somewhat of a mission to contribute and to grow here. And that's not random. That's not naive or silly. That's what you're here for.
So taking the steps in these synchronistic ways, and I always find it, it's just, oh, this just came up just when there was an opening. Or I met this person and they were speaking about this thing and I felt like a call and a curiosity towards that. That is your invitation. And yes, you can let it pass you by and life will always keep giving you invitations.
Life and the universe will never give up on you. It will just keep giving you invitations until we do listen. But then they become bigger and bigger invitations. Like, as I said, you get sick or you start having crippling anxiety or relationships start to fall apart or, you know, we get these big initiations or we could just take the curiosities and the nudges as they come.
So everyone is different. It's just about understanding your energy type, your feeling in your body. And it's about trusting the intuitive pull rather than trying to push and force and control with your mind in life. I just feel like it's a losing battle if you are trying to go up against life. Not the battle I want to brunt force, try to get through.
Get life on your side and trust where you're feeling called.

Chapter 7: How does deconditioning relate to personal transformation?
So, yeah, that intuition part is so vital. So can we talk about the conditioning in terms of how we've lost touch with that intuition? Because I certainly had. I certainly had. And you were a lawyer, right? So there was a point for you as well. So can we talk into that?
If you chose to be a lawyer, God, you couldn't have come from your intuition. I love it. But there is people that genuinely do. I remember that was a big moment for me watching one of my bosses who just loved the law. And I was like, this is his thing. This is not my thing. Why am I trying to force this? And he so beautifully said is that, you know, we think we're doing, quote unquote,
what is right. And I just think, especially in this period in time, I think more and more people are understanding about the intuition and about noticing where your life force comes alive and when you can be of your best contribution to this collective. I think sometimes we do, as we said, quote unquote, what we think we should do. And we realize this is actually not the best use of my energy.
This is actually not the best use that I can be of service to people and to humanity and to life. And it's actually not bringing me the success that I expected or I wanted. And it's also not bringing me the happiness. So we almost get to this point where we feel a little bit jibbed or a little bit like, I thought I signed up for something else and this is not what I signed up for.
And we also get hooked in this achieving and time moving.

Chapter 8: Why is nervous system safety important during life shifts?
And you see it. Right from when we go to school, like you're five years old and you're constantly on this ladder. Then you're like, okay, I'm grade one and I'm preparing for grade two, grade two, grade three, grade four until grade 12. Okay. Now I go to university or I go into full-time employment. Okay. Now I work my way up the ladder and you get to a point when you've worked your way and
decades up some imaginary ladder and you get to the point of wait what have I been working for what was I hooked into this time that I get to this point and this is usually where people have a quarter life crisis or a midlife crisis of what am I actually doing here what is actually the point of this what have I
signed up to this moving escalator and it just keeps on moving and I keep on having to achieve and I keep on having to keep up and I keep on having to you know quieten down this noise in my mind that says there could be another way and so it gets to a point where you can't quieten it down anymore and so I truly believe that every human here it's part of the human experience that we come here to somehow forget how important we are or how
divine your life force and how needed you are here and your gifts and your intuitive knowing and through that we come back to the remembering of that because we know this as children we know this when we are a baby you don't wait for permission to cry or to have an experience you don't wait for permission or think is there a potentiality of me not being loved as i am
But we learn along the way that somehow we're not enough and I have to do something to be enough. And so I truly feel that like when we have that awakening to our conditioning, which we'll go to in a moment, it becomes even more sacred, your sense of self. It becomes even more sacred, your gut instinct or your intuitive knowing.
It becomes even more sacred, your mission here or what you feel called to create or do or your desires. Like your desires are...
implanted in you for a reason to create and it inspires you to grow and evolve in some way which I also think is our reason for being here is to evolve the human race the human energy so what happens is that we get to a point where we awaken to it we awaken to all the rules all the societal norms all the thoughts of who we were conditioned to think we had to be
And that can be very startling, intense, and challenging because you can have a bit of a identity crisis and an ego death of, wait, All these decisions, yes, I made these decisions, but did I actually make these decisions? Or did my conditioning make these decisions?
And so conditioning, as you said, is all the ways we learned that we had to be in order to be loved, accepted, successful, all the things we want. All the things that is a human right. And so we've picked up these illusionary thoughts that we have to contort or be a certain way and everyone is going to have their different experience.
